Report your building collapse accident as soon as possible
If you’re involved in a building collapse accident, it’s important to report it to the appropriate authorities and seek medical attention immediately. Reporting the accident can help to preserve evidence, ensure that the cause of the accident is investigated thoroughly, and protect your legal rights.
Delaying reporting can weaken your case, as critical details may be forgotten or evidence may be lost. Additionally, seeking medical attention immediately can help to establish a record of your injuries, which can be important in pursuing a personal injury claim.
Did you receive medical attention immediately following your building collapse accident?
Building collapse accidents can result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries, which may not be apparent initially. By seeking medical attention promptly, you can receive the appropriate medical care and the necessary documentation to support your potential legal case.
Also, delaying medical attention can worsen your condition and complicate your recovery. Seeking medical attention quickly ensures your health and well-being and strengthens your chances of receiving proper compensation for your injuries.

Building Collapse Accident FAQs
A personal injury lawyer can help you in the event of a building collapse accident by providing legal guidance and representation. They can investigate the cause of the collapse, determine liability, and help you file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. They can also negotiate with insurance companies and other parties involved in the case to secure a fair settlement. A personal injury lawyer can provide you with the legal expertise and support you need to navigate the complexities of a building collapse lawsuit and help you obtain the best possible outcome for your case.
When a building collapse accident occurs, it's important to determine who is liable for the damages and injuries that result from the incident. At our law firm, we understand the complexity of building collapse cases and are dedicated to helping victims and their families seek justice.
In most cases, liability for a building collapse accident falls on the property owner or manager, the construction company responsible for the building, or the manufacturer of the building materials used. However, determining liability can be a complicated process and requires a thorough investigation to determine the root cause of the collapse.
Our team of experienced attorneys has a track record of success in handling building collapse cases. We work closely with forensic experts and investigators to determine liability and hold responsible parties accountable for their actions. Our goal is to help our clients obtain the compensation they deserve for their injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims arising from a building collapse is three years from the date of the incident. For property damage claims, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the collapse or one year from the date of discovery of the damage, whichever is earlier. It's essential to seek legal advice from an experienced building collapse law firm as soon as possible to ensure that you meet the applicable deadlines for filing your lawsuit. If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries or property damage.
